What I used to think of weird, seems more normal to my ears these days. 

Anyway, I offer something new in this territory (released this year) that I really enjoyed: Fred Frith and Ikue Mori - A Mountain Doesn't Know It's Tall

Alas, no tracks on YouTube, but if you have access to Spotify...

I normally don't toot my own horn, but I have my own little project that occasionally dives into this territory. I offer you A Thousand Civilities:

Weird but brilliant: the first time I heard Factor Burzaco.
Weird and a waste of my time: that's how I've always felt about Trout Mask Replica.

Here's another couple RYM lists you may find interesting.

The artists presented on this list are weird but mainly for image not necessarily music but there is some of that too.

v.e.r.y...W#E-I~R*D...b+a=n^d-s \m/ o_o \m/


2nD~C=O=M=i=N=G  v.e.r.y...W#E-I~R*D...b+a=n^d-s...2\m/ o_o \m/


The second one won't link for whatever reason

Indeed. I've concluded that The Residents is the weirdest band ever. They pretty much nailed the weird vibe on every level. Can you imagine playing live in these freaking giant eyeball costumes? LOL

Which of course features two of the members of Henry Cow, the wonderful Lindsay Cooper & Georgie Born.


Speaking of Henry Cow, all their albums qualify but what's even weirder is Chris Cutler's CASSIBER.

This debut album is quite out there

Current 93 - Nature Unveiled (1984) - a very disturbing, nightmarish album that I never want to hear again. It's the kind of unsettling album you'd play to clear the house of unwanted party guests at the end of a long evening. Evil Smile

I thought Frank Zappa's Lumpy Gravy was a very strange album. When I first heard it I thought Tangerine Dream's Phaedra was pretty weird but apparently they have weirder ones. Also, believe it or not I thought the vvery first Genesis album From Genesis To Revelation  was rather weird when I first heard it. Side two of Pink Floyd's Ummagumma is another one. I'll have to think about it and list some others later.

I had the same reaction to Beauborg, I still don't love it.

I found Koenji Hyakkei's Angherr Shisspa quite weird for Zeuhl standards, which means something. (MDK, which was the first Zeuhl album I heard, came over as fairly normal in comparison.)

The solo album by Demetrio Stratos (the vocalist from the Italian AREA) "Cantare La Voce" was a WTF moment for me!!

"Beauborg" by Vangelis was another odd one. In the late 70's I bought his "Albedo 0.39" and "Spiral" albums and loved them. Then he released "Beauborg" I rushed out to buy it expecting something similar but was in for a shock. At the time I hated it but maybe now I would love it if I still had the album.

I don't seek out obscure and weird albums, but this one is impossible not to be aware of.

This is an obvious go to for weirdness.

SizeMy weirdest album would have to be the first time I heard Dark Side of the Moon. I love it now, but when I came home from the store and put it on, it honestly creeped me out a little!

The band's name was BERZERKER, and the album was in MP3 format. It was one of my friends' random albums. I have doubts if it was a real official album, or someone did some tricky recording using that band's name. All I can say is that, anyone who listens to it loudly might go berserk. I, for one, cannot dare it.

Area Palea. I have two of their albums, and they are certainly in that category.
